From ffda12a17a324103e9900fa1035309811eecbfe5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Fri, 17 Oct 2008 19:27:02 +0200 Subject: sched: optimize group load balancer I noticed that tg_shares_up() unconditionally takes rq-locks for all cpus in the sched_domain. This hurts. We need the rq-locks whenever we change the weight of the per-cpu group sched entities. To allevate this a little, only change the weight when the new weight is at least shares_thresh away from the old value. This avoids the rq-lock for the top level entries, since those will never be re-weighted, and fuzzes the lower level entries a little to gain performance in semi-stable situations.
